Thank you, Madam Chair. We are beginning to move into a lot of safety areas as we continue to work with the Workers’ Safety Commission. We have contracts in place where when a contractor gets on a site, they would have to have a safety plan for the people on site. We don’t believe that WSCC is only there to collect premiums. Actually, we believe that people who are in construction are different than individuals who may be in retail and the requirement for having some safety plan in place on a construction site versus something that just may protect employees against some lighter duty injuries. I know that there are more stringent rules surrounding what we, as this department, monitor are heavy construction sites, building construction sites, large buildings. Aside from that, I’m going to ask the deputy minister to provide more detail on what we need in order for a contractor to get on site and before a contractor is able to have an actual contract for constructing one of our buildings. Thank you.
